- the cylindrical battery according to the present invention achieves both improved battery characteristics and improved long-term reliability and safety.
- FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view conceptually showing a cylindrical battery according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- a cylindrical battery according to the present invention includes a bottomed cylindrical battery case, an electrode group housed in the battery case together with an electrolyte, a sealing member fitted in an opening of the battery case, a sealing member, and the battery case. An opening portion of the battery case is sealed by drawing the opening end portion of the battery case.
- the battery case is made of stainless steel.
- the outer diameter of the battery case is 10 mm or less, and the thickness of the battery case is 0.05 mm or more and 0.2 mm or less.
- stainless steel has a significantly higher tensile fracture strength than iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al).
- SUS316L austenitic stainless steel

I found out that it would be realized. In addition, the present inventors have found that these conditions are particularly preferable for a small cylindrical battery whose outer diameter is 6 mm or less.
- the thickness of the battery case is a condition for enhancing the sealing property. Very important.
- the battery case contracts in the squeezed portion of the battery case (that is, the diameter of the battery case is reduced).
- the diameter of the battery case before the drawing process is 15 mm or more
- the shrinkage change rate of the battery case 1 by the drawing process is small and hardly affects the sealing performance.
- the diameter of the battery case 1 before the drawing process is 10 mm or less
- the shrinkage change rate of the battery case 1 due to the drawing process becomes large, and the roundness is reduced or the wrinkles are abnormal at the opening end of the battery case. Deformation easily occurs. Such a problem is conspicuous when the diameter of the battery case before drawing is 6 mm or less, which lowers the sealing performance.

That is, when forming the battery case 1, it is easy to stretch and thin the stainless steel, and the processing accuracy is high.
- a battery case having a large ratio of height to diameter can be easily formed with high accuracy by, for example, deep drawing. Therefore, the battery case 1 having a thickness of 0.05 mm or more and 0.2 mm or less can be formed easily and with high accuracy, and as a result, a cylindrical battery having high sealing performance is stably manufactured. It becomes possible.

- the protective layer which raises acid corrosion resistance is normally formed in the surface of stainless steel, and when stainless steel does not contain copper, this protective layer becomes a cause which enlarges contact resistance.
- the resistance of the protective layer is reduced, and as a result, the contact resistance is reduced.
- the battery case is preferably formed by deep drawing a stainless steel plate having a small thickness to form a bottomed cylinder. According to deep drawing, it is possible to obtain a battery case having a small and uniform thickness and a small variation in shape and thickness. Also, deep drawing reduces material loss.

Therefore, the gasket 9 is in close contact with the side surface of the sealing member 8 and the inner surface of the battery case 1 in a compressed state. In this way, the opening of the battery case 1 is sealed. Further, a perforated disk 11 made of an electrical insulating material is fitted into a protruding portion of the sealing member 8 exposed to the outside of the battery case 1. The disk 11 prevents an electrical short circuit between the sealing member 8 and the battery case 1.

For this reason, in the electrode group 5, if the radius at the beginning of winding of the negative electrode plate 2 and the positive electrode plate 3 is too small, the mixture layer peels off from the core material, and this causes electrical damage in the battery case 1. There is a risk of a short circuit (internal short circuit).
